Ep. 191 - Silly Season

We’re joined today for the full half hour by Professor Alvin Felzenberg. Professor Felzenberg is the author of “A Man And His Presidents: The Political Odyssey of William F. Buckley Jr. We will discuss the founder of the modern conservative movement 10 years after his death, what WFB might have thought of President Covfefe one year in, and what the conservatives of today can learn from our forebears. And if he won’t talk about all that, I’ll smash him in his damn face, and he’ll stay plastered…then, the Mailbag! Learn more about your ad choices.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students return to school today, two weeks after the horrific shooting. We will talk with one of them, Kyle Kashuv, not about guns, not about his thoughts on public policy, but rather about his experience of media outlets like CNN and Hollywood celebrities preying on his community. Then, we expose the real forces behind gun control efforts in Parkland and why they’re doing it. Finally, CNN analyst Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling clarifies his comments on full semi-auto weapons. We will clarify his clarification, which is really an obfuscation, because CNN belongs to its father and when it lies it speaks its native language. Learn more about your ad choices.

Cynical Democrat politicians who failed at every level to prevent the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida, are now excusing everybody who had anything to do with preventing the shooting and placing all of the blame on the NRA, a civil rights organization that had absolutely nothing to do with the shooting. This is par for the course for Democrats, who have long pushed gun control to oppress blacks and other minorities. We will analyze the racist history of gun control and the purpose of the Second Amendment. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices Learn more about your ad choices.

CNN and mean girl Jake Tapper last night pimped out traumatized kids to hurl vile and dishonest insults at Republicans and supporters of the U.S. Constitution for a fact-free hour on national television. Meanwhile, Republicans and conservatives resort to their evil facts and data and logic to point out that there is no gun homicide crisis in America. Those monsters. We will discuss the current state of gun demagoguery with senior editor of National Review Ramesh Ponnuru. Then, the Mailbag! Learn more about your ad choices.

What should conservatives want in the age of Trump? We will discuss with the great Mike Franc, research fellow and Director of D.C. programs at the Hoover Institution, former policy director and counsel for House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and from 1997 to 2013 VP of government relations for the Heritage Foundation, where he managed all of the think-tank’s outreach with Capitol Hill and the White House. Then, Democrats use traumatized kids as human shields to infringe upon our civil rights, a Catholic’s take on Billy Graham, and the greatest Olympian since Orsippus. Learn more about your ad choices.

Michael Moore colluded with the Russians! Or at least he was a useful idiot exploited by them. And we have photographic evidence. None of this should surprise us, however, as the American Left has been working with Moscow for over a century to undermine American institutions and culture. We will analyze this latest episode and the long history of Democrats’ colluding with Russia. Then, on This Day In History, what we conservatives can learn from American colonists’ adopting the Indians’ practice of scalping to fight against them! Learn more about your ad choices.

Statue-toppling, shrieking girls, white supremacists, safe spaces, trigger warning, and English degrees without Shakespeare. Somehow one institution has become a focus point for all of these atrocities. We ask: is the Ivy League destroying America? Then, Washington's Birthday on This Day In History!
